I currently have a 230 SE w/ 510. Great boat, lots a fun with it this summer. Do you have a question?

 

[goon]

yes,was wondering how it compairs to the 430 on top end and are you able to spin a large boat like that.also the slow speed manuvering

i just upgrade from a 150speedster to 230wake 510hp.
so far i love the boat acceleration is great top speed 62 gps.i try a 430 before and i choose the 510 i cruise at 28 to 32 mph and at that speed i am at 5000rpm to 5500 compare to the 430 5500 to 6000 at 5500 you get boost so gaz to.and one of the best option is the electrical window.

Well as far as top end. The fastest I have seen on my boat is 61mph, and I believe Ic ould get more out of it if I did a few things. As how that compares to the 430 I don't know I would assume the 430 is somewhere in the mid to high 50's ??

For slow speed manuevring, I think it is great once you get used to the jet drive.
